- [Instructor] Welcome to this AutoCAD:Developing CAD Standards course.Now, what we're going to look at in this courseis various different types of CAD standards that you can usewhen you're working with your AutoCAD drawings in AutoCAD.Now, it varies from country to country,it varies from company to company.It can also vary from project to project.It depends on how far you want to actually manageand micromanage the standards that you're usingin your AutoCAD drawings.

There are some de facto national standards,both in the USA, in the UK, where I live,and all over the world,and what I'm going to try and dois show you how to implement a CAD standard in AutoCADfor a drawing, such as the drawing you can seeat the moment on your screen.Now, we're going to go through some of the worldwideCAD standards that are available,but what we're also going to look atis the DWS file format that AutoCAD provides you withto check and configure your CAD standardsin your AutoCAD drawings.

So, let's get going, let's get into AutoCAD,and start developing some of those CAD standards,so that you can implement them in your place of workand within your organization.
